hits from the eighties or whenever that have yet to been turned in to brand-spanking psychedelic "edits" by Todd Terje or some other charming moustach-parading Scandanavian wag filling in fo

uh, ya. oops. from sf

and seahawks is prob one of my fave records of last year that i didn't listen to until dec 30

Seahawks are trippy. Are all their releases basically edits?

Didn't mean for that to sound dismissive, just genuinely curious.

one of my favorite albums from last year as well. it can range from ambient noodly synth stuff to edits with added ambient noodly synth stuff (not meant to be dismissive either). pretty spacey vibes throughout, though they do use a ton of recognizable sample material

seahawks is like edits w/ added drums and guitars and effects

SPIRIT IN THE SKY

has anyone done this yet?

prins thomas did an edit on mindless boogie (el toro) that i mistook for "spirit in the sky" for a while because it has a very similar guitar riff, but alas it is not actually "spirit in the sky" it is rudy ventura or something (maybe an instrumental cover version? it really is pretty similar)

Heard this tonight and instantly thought of this thread. Listening to it now though, I'm ready to start a petition to get Todd Terje or some other charming moustache etc. etc. to make a 10 minute epic of this.

Haha yessssss

That song just makes me think of Billy Mitchell

been listening to that cohen album a bunch lately. whole thing's weirdly like that. did he do other synthy albums?

not really although there is this track from 'the future':

I'd buy an album of Cohen re-edits in a shot.

in. a. shot.

I've always wanted to add an electro fizz to "first we take Manhatten..then we take Berlin"

mainly cause the title is already perfect for the electro treatment

90s not 80s, but I think this sound is ripe for the edit treatment, esp. given that current early house into R&B sound popularised by Soul Clap et al:

Do we need a new thread for hits of the 90s or are we cool to start posting them in here? I can think of far too many that would sound good with just some synth squiggles and quantizing.

^ i don't see why not.

it's technically late '80s but i always thought that an edit of "orinoco flow" would be pretty much the best thing ever

thread title is "hits from the eighties or whenever..." so go for yr life.

I've had so many in my head but I struggle to think of them when I'm on ilm, grr.

Always thought a lot of Lilith Fair-type stuff would be ripe for this treatment:

Also I have a homemade low-quality edit of "Tinseltown In The Rain", it doesn't do much other than have an extended intro/outro and the string part repeated a bit, but if anyone's interested:

Haha, a friend of mine has a nascent Italians Do It Better type project and i convinced her to cover "Show Me Heaven".

If there are any charming moustache-parading French wags, I'd expect them to be all over Jean-Jacques Goldman:

plz plz plz somebody re-edit "Money Changes Everything" by the Smiths into a 15 minute tremelo'd out swamp disco epic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg51gGOOqRs

Bow Wow Wow - Jungle Boy

no YouTube! :-(

plz plz plz somebody re-edit "Money Changes Everything" by the Smiths into a 15 minute tremelo'd out swamp disco epic

well, the 12" to bryan ferry's 'the right stuff' has a 7min mostly instrumental dub that's pretty great. so you can just play that twice.

for real? i don't have the 12". kinda feel like the guitars are too low on the album version tho. thanks for the tip!!

discogs says it's a Latin Rascals edit -- sweet !!

on the more sun-dappled lazing-on-the-beach tip, i feel good things could be done to this, particular the pre-vocal first half:

leo zero already did an edit of 'bonny' so why not, eh

is there an edit of springsteen's 'secret garden' out there?

WAR - LOWRIDER

I would quite like someone to do something with Rilo Kiley's "Dreamworld".

Is there a version of Men At Work's "Down Under" that's recommended?

Perhaps the world may finally be ready to hear my dubs of Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" and "You Got Lucky"

STILL WAITING ON THESE

prob not Michel's but this has been around a while
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPOPPt2_HT8

I listened to this a lot this weekend:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVfjJpDbzv0

My older sister loved (this era of) Simply Red so this already has massive childhood resonance, but with added awesome breakdown.

lolololol http://turntablelab.com/collections/daily-arrivals/products/the-cure-the-balearic-sound-of-the-cure-12

(i realize these are official 12" versions, not brand-spanking psychedelic "edits", but still in spirit of the thread IMO)

there's also a "the balearic sound of fleetwood mac" but I heard the pressing of that was of very poor quality.

I'm sure that between the snare fills, strident disco beat, and rich bassline, someone could do something amazing with The Cardigans' "Lovefool"

woah yeah def.

psychemagick should get on that

need a poolside or soul clap edit of "bette davis eyes" before summer comes

Sophie B Hawkins - Right Beside You

A version of All Saints "Black Coffee" that doesn't have the intro/outro parts

Lene Marlin "Sitting Down Here"

I've always wanted to make an hour long edit of Buffalo Stance that meditates heavily on all the different riffs, vamps and vocal snatches in the song. if anyone can source stems I'd be really really grateful

Theres an edit by The Revenge but its actually a bit disappointing given his involvement and the source material
